There are three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and a SEC team playing in the national title game.
No matter how cliché that sentence is, it’s becoming the truth — for the seventh straight year, the SEC has a chance to win the BCS National Championship.
Alabama faces Notre Dame on Jan. 7 for a chance to bring the conference its seventh-straight championship. It’s becoming a trend in college football — an unwanted trend.
As a fan of the Pac-12, having the SEC always in the national championship is becoming a bit annoying. The BCS loves the SEC, and will do anything to get at least one program into the game.
While I understand it’s not always the system and the conference’s fault (I’m looking at you Kansas State and Oregon ... and you too Ohio State), it’s still rather ridiculous that they can get there with such ease.
Like last season, Alabama, who didn’t play in the SEC Championship game, still got into the BCS National Championship game. Then this season, there was even a small rumor going around that Florida could jump this year’s SEC champion to get into the game.
A rumor like that could be brought up displays the ridiculous love the BCS has for the SEC.
This season’s national championship coincidentally falls on my birthday, and the only present I want this year is for the SEC to lose a national championship. So Notre Dame, do you think you can make that birthday wish come true?
